Here's a commercial for WMET 95 and a Half FM - Chicago's Classic Rock.
Note: This is to replace an earlier, now broken (unplayable) video posting, preserved as an unlisted video here to save the original comments: youtu.be/wjprX7nHt3w
It says (C)1981 Metromedia Broadcasting - same people that bought WFLD a year or so later?
Funny how even an album like Steely Dan's Gaucho would be considered "Classic" even though it was only released less than a year prior to this commercial airing. Instant classic, I guess.
Can anyone name all the album covers shown and ID all the sound clips played?
This aired on local Chicago television early Saturday, August 29th 1981 during the 12:00 Midnight to 12:10am timeframe.
